A man toting a large stick was arrested Monday after encountering officers in downtown Birmingham.

WVTM 13's Marlie Martinez (@MarleiWVTM13) caught a portion of the incident on video. You can see a man walking backwards and waving what appears to be a big, broken tree limb at UAB police. The officers, who had their guns drawn, apprehended the suspect after a brief foot pursuit.
